Extensive patellar tendon ossification is very uncommon and requires surgical intervention when ossification significantly affects knee function. While various approaches and grafts are available for ...
This is a case involving an extensively ossified patellar tendon after patellar and tibial tuberosity fracture fixation. Reconstruction of the patellar tendon was performed using ipsilateral semitendi...
Autograft hamstring reconstruction of the patellar tendon is suitable for extensive heterotopic ossification of the patellar tendon, resulting in significant improvement in postoperative knee function...
Excessive knee flexion during stance in children with cerebral palsy is often treated by surgical hamstrings lengthening. Pre-operative hamstrings muscle-tendon length can be estimated from kinematics...
If peak hamstrings muscle-tendon length is within two standard deviations of typical, is that a sufficient indicator to rule out surgical hamstrings lengthening?...
Three motion analysis centers retrospectively identified children with cerebral palsy, age 6-17 years, who had consecutive gait analyses with knee flexion at initial contact > 20° and popliteal angle ...
440 individuals met inclusion criteria. Percentage of individuals with improved PKE by grouping were- MHL-'Short': 60%, MHL-'Not Short': 65%, MLHL-'Short': 74%, MLHL-'Not Short': 74%, Control 'Short':...
This study suggests that hamstrings muscle-tendon length criteria by itself is not a sufficient indicator to recommend against hamstrings lengthening....
Hamstring tendons (HTs) are one of the most commonly used autografts for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR). However, the tendon-to-bone healing of the HTs grafts within the bone t...
To investigate the differences in maximal (isometric and concentric peak torque) and explosive (rate of torque development (RTD)) hamstring and quadriceps strength symmetry between males and females d...
A total of 38 female and 51 male participants were assessed during early (3-6 months post-operative) and late (7-12 months post-operative) phases of rehabilitation following ACLR. Maximal (concentric ...
Maximal concentric hamstrings asymmetry (Early: 86 ± 14; Late 92 ± 13; p = 0.005) as well as maximal concentric (Early, 73 ± 15; Late 91 ± 12; p < 0.001) and explosive (Early: 82 ± 30; Late: 92 ± 25; ...
Explosive hamstring strength asymmetry did not improve despite recovery of maximal hamstring strength during rehabilitation following ACLR with HT autografts. While sex did not influence strength reco...

To compare patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with hamstring grafts 7 mm or less in diameter combined with anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstruction versus isolated ...
We retrospectively evaluated the descriptive data and clinical outcomes of patients who underwent primary ACL reconstruction with hamstring grafts from June 2013 to January 2020 and had a minimum foll...
We identified 30 patients in our database who met the criteria for the ACL-ALL group. The patients in this group were matched to 60 patients comprising the ACL group. Both groups were similar regardin...
Patients who undergo combined ACL-ALL reconstruction with an ACL graft diameter of 7 mm or less can achieve similar results to patients who undergo isolated ACL reconstruction with a graft diameter gr...

Knowing the potential hamstring tendon length is relevant for planning ligament reconstructions in children and adolescents, as it is not uncommon to encounter small hamstring tendons intraoperatively...
This observational study included two cohorts of adolescents undergoing ligament reconstructions between 2007-2014 and 2017-2020. Age, sex, height and weight were recorded preoperatively. Semitendinos...
The population consisted of 171 adolescents from 13 to 17 years of age, with a median age of 16 years [IQR 16-17]. The median semitendinosus tendon length was 29 cm [IQR 26-30] and gracilis tendon len...
Height is a significant predictor of semitendinosus and gracilis tendon length in adolescents between 13 and 17 years of age and outcomes are similar to data in adults. In 75% of the closed socket ACL...
To explore the value of human data from the Zhuang population via predicting the diameter of the hamstring tendon autograft in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and determining the feasi...
In total, 24 Zhuang patients who underwent ACL reconstruction with a 4-strand semitendinosus and gracilis tendon autograft (4 S-STG) were enrolled in this study. Before the operation, the affected sem...
The ST diameter measured by ultrasound was correlated with the ST length and ST diameter measured during operation, and the ST circumference measured by ultrasound was correlated with the ST diameter ...
In Zhuang patients undergoing ACL reconstruction with 4 S-STG, body weight more accurately predicted graft diameter than preoperative semitendinosus diameter....
To evaluate the functional and graft survivorship outcomes of the three most common autograft options for primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR)-hamstring tendon (HT), bone-patella-t...
Patients captured by the New Zealand ACL registry who underwent a primary ACLR from 2014 to 2020 were considered for the study. Patients with associated knee injury (including meniscus, chondral, osse...
2,582 patients (1,921 HT, 558 BPTB, 107 QT) were included in the study. Differences in adjusted functional outcomes between HT and BPTB were found at 12 months (mean Marx; HT 6.2; BPTB 7.1; P < 0.001)...
QT was found to be comparable to both HT and BPTB in all functional scores and revision rates up to 2 years post-surgery....

The hamstring tendons (gracilis and semitendinosus) are often used as an autograft for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Healing of this graft involves a slow biological process called ...
Leaving the tibial insertion of the hamstring tendons intact will provide better early biological incorporation and superior tibial mechanical fixation resulting in various clinical advantages....
In January 2022, a systematic literature review was carried out independently by two authors of the Medline, PubMed and Embase databases. The keywords used were "pedicular" or "pedicled" or "preservat...
Sixteen articles were analyzed. Preserving the hamstring tibial insertion during ACL reconstruction improves the graft's biological incorporation during the initial postoperative phase according to cl...
The main conclusion of this systematic literature review was that preserving the hamstring tibial insertion during ACL reconstruction appears to improve the graft's ligamentization with biological and...
